We wish these newspapers in other I states would quit taking so much ' ^pleasure out of the outcome of recent' elections. ~i The Stat.- Renato for the next two j .yearn wll show a number of new faces. And there are some others that are on skids. *T1 ? Q - , 4 Mayor John P. Grace on being In-1 toiyiowed on the result of the election. >e*ld; "etaoin lays* b-r-r-r-r" and apd thea a good deal more. , Greenville county must have plana to take the leadership In the house. Several strong lawyers and skilled legislators on that delegation already. it doesn't pay to Btop working. Two years ago Fraser Lyon waa defeated by a fluke. It Ute first race he got mere "votes than he and his opponent both in the run o ver. o *? , ; Jj^B. Felton fted no opposition in the ?tate primary and received prac tically every vote In Ute county. Re 'nae proved his love for the schools of Anderson. An error in one tabula tion caused it to appear that he had lost aome rutea at his home box-but he got them all. A CHANUK IS NEEDED Now thur tin- primary ix lu u great in- ;-. nc over, ami what we BhuII ?ay will nut be gurhleil, distorted or mls understood, wt- wi.sh to etil attention to one weakness uf the system, it appears that JUDI anybody can run tor oi?ce. No matter how vile his character, hov,- doprawd his life, how morbid or sordid his mentality. No matter bow low his station in tho scale of respec tiblllty, hr cnn run for office. And soine have been elected. Men to whom truth in n nightmare and to whom virtue ls a horrid dream can got out ns hirelings to injure men of honor and probity. Wo must have tho primary rulcsv aim mli d so that no mar may offor for ofiico unless bu can Bemuse a po litl?n '.signed by a oortaln percentage of tho people quulitiod to voto for tho office for which ho seeks. Men become cundidutos who seek morely to blackguard and to defame others. They seek nothing, they rep resent nothing. Hut when tho oarty pe,.nits them to become cundidutos, they are given certain prestige which as individuals they havo uot. They aro permitted to go out and utter falsehoods uhout good men. These libela cannot bo answered-for u man with self respect cannot stoop to the luvoi of such creatures. But tho Ho sticks und hurts, no matter how vl|p th? source wh**no<_? lt issues.* We distinctly have no reference to M ..-SE rs Jennings und Pollock, who arc honorable men, nor are we refer ring io any particular person. Hu. te condition b) there, and should bo corrected. DOWN ON THt' FARM Taure are 728,627 persons In South Carolina that work for a living and GI 3,021 of them are employed upon the farm, according to the report which has JiiBt been issued by the United States Cens?a Bureau. Of the per sons engaged in agricultural pur suits, the bulk of them are farm ope rators and farm laborers The farm operators number 171,917, and 159,346 are men and 12,571 are women. There are 336,416 farm laborers in the State and 168,143 are males and 178,273 fe males. There are 66 dairy farms in the state and they employ 195 laborers and 9 foremen. There are also ten persons in the state whose principal source of Income is from stock raising. The : number of cowboys and sheep herders rn this state is 43. In the en?ire United States there are 71,580.270 persons over 10 years 'of age and 38,167.336, or 53 per cent of them are engaged ip gainful occu pations. Of the gainfully occupied, 12,669,203. or 33 per cent are engaged In agriculture. There are 5.?65,000 farm operators in the nation and th&y employ 6.975.C00 laborers. WHAT DEUTERONOMY SAYS Senator Tillman might have shown poor taste in twitting Governor Blease. We do not admire the spirit that would rub tait in ?ounds? even though that be done in a reciprocal manner. But tho Senator's joke was quito keen at that Here is Deuteron omy 23:15, to which tho senator refer red: "But Jeshurun waxed fat and wicked; thou are waxen fat, thou art grown thick; thou are cover ed with fatness ; then he forsook God, which made him and light ly esteemed the Rock of His Sal vation" The senator must have beep hunt ing for that passage quite awhile COMMERCIAL SCHOOLS A report issued by the Federal Bu reau of Education showa that there are three commercial schools and bus iness colleges in South' Carolina. The 1913 enrollment waa 475 pupils. It Is estimated that more than half this number completed commercial courses and a large number are now employed In South Carolina business institutions. N Tn the entire nation there are 618 business colleges and commercial schools, and they accoraodate 160.557 students annually. This ia an average attendance or 260 pupila per school. Some of the so-called commercial schools are fakes, nothing but tikes, but In Anderson the Cecil school ls conducted by Christian gentlemen, and the Institution ia an asset to Ute community. COTTON HOLDING PLAN That ls an impressive advertisement which the Standard Warehouse Com pany carries today. This conceah tells , the farmers how to store their cotton and get a loan. The historical statement ? made by Ute company ls Indeed Interesting and no doubt fur nishes a parallel. The farmer who la able to or is enabled to hold his cotton may later on doable tho price i he will get for lt. How long will the war last? Too long lt lt goes OB one minute longer.

Columbia, Aug. 28.-On ail sides the prediction was freely made In Columbia today thut Richard I. Man ning, of Sumter, will be the next gov ernor of South Carolina, by u big ma jority. His HUpporters went to work In earnest this morning and the cuiu palgn will be strongly waged through, but the stnte. Mr. Munning ls strong in the rural districts and will no doubt receive a large vote. His lenders are very con fident of election, but are appealing to all Manning's friends not to take any risks. Frank W. Shealey and C. D. Fort ner wero working for the secoua pri mary. They are fighting it out for a place on the railroad commission. Shealey started in life as a section hand on the railroad, has worked on up into numerous positions of trust; hag educated hlr brothers and sisters, and ti ls county is proud of him. Tho returns on the county races are incomplete. The indications are that not more than two Blease sup porters have been elected to the state c?nate, out of about 25. The house wilt be ' tremendously "antl.adniinistra - tion." Senator Smith today received the following telegram from Woodrow Wilson, president of the United Stales: "My sincere congratulations." "Accept my heartiest congratula tions," wired Senator J. P. Core "Congratulations from all of your associates." wired Senator John W. Kern, Democratic leader In the Sen ate.

The total vote thlB year was 132,200 which is about 8.000 less than the vote for governor in 1912. As far as is known, the governor has bas made no comment upon the election. ' John G. Pilchards held a long con ference today with the governor. No announceme nt was made as to the matters discussed. STRICT CENHOHKHiv (By Associated Press.)

I., Aug. 28.-The lawn tennis championship tournament to. day narrowed to San Francisco and Philadelphia with the title holder, M. B McLaughlin, an almost prohibitive favorite. The other three victors in the day's matches in the sixth rounr of the all comers' tournament were] E. F. Fottrell, San Francisco, and R. Norris Williame, second, ona William | J. Clothier, Philadelphia. Fottrell will meet Williams and Clothier will play McLougLiin in the semi-finals tomorrow. Clothier fell before the champion in straight sets last year and as Williams tonight was a favorite over Fottre;:, many followers of the game predicted that the finale would be repetition of those of 1913 when McLaughlin found Williams his only opponent for Ute title and defeated him. The feature match today, that be-1 tween William and ??Carl Behr, waa I disappointing. Behr proved unusu ally erratic and Williams defeated him in about sn hour. Mclaughlin al lowed C. J.
